Fear Island [HD]

Decent, but felt like a TV movie
I have to be honest, I saw this on my cable TV's on demand. I didn't purchase the DVD. But seeing as how there are no reviews for this here, I thought I'd post my opinion on this movie.

The movie starts out at the end of all the murders. We see on survivor and are told everyone is dead. I hate when that happens in movies because then I know who survives and that everyone else is gonna bite it. It honestly wasn't that big of a deal with this movie though.

The survivor can't remember anything, and its through them that we find out what happened on this island that they were vacationing on with their friends.

The movie is pretty straight forward other then not knowing who the killer is. It really tries to twist everything around a time or two so that it throws you off the scent of the real killer. And for me it did that. I had no idea who or why until a little while before it was revealed. I honestly enjoyed the ending of the film and all the "twists"...

The Ultimate Movie Review! - [...] - @tss5078
For some odd reason I like things that take place on deserted islands. J.J. Abrams has showed us that there are so many ways to go and that the possibilities are endless, but to be honest I didn't expect much from this film. As it turns out, Haylie Duff isn't a bad actress and Fear Island wasn't a bad movie! This film was exciting, engaging, smart, and pretty well written. Many parts of the story, especially the ending were predictable; however it was still a great story. Fear Island is one of those movies you watch because it appears in your instant recommendations and there isn't anything else to watch, so you give it a chance, and what you find is that it's actually a pretty worthwhile film.

Wrong region
I watched this on Netflix and had to have the DVD (movie is great). I ordered it through Amazon and I always look to make sure it's the right region when it is shipped from another country. I did not see anywhere where it said that it was Region 2. After I got the DVD I rechecked and did finally find the Region 2 notation. Unfortunately it will not play on any of the three blu-ray players I have so I don't know if the DVD even works. The company offered to take it back but the shipping costs for me would have been more than the DVD cost.
